Load the REST API Explorer preset to the selected metric and time range by selecting View in API Explorer.

Metric charts

The metric explorer enables you to search and create customizable charts for any of your New Relic metric data. You can only chart one metric namespace per chart.

Customize your metric chart in the metric explorer for more precise views of your data.

Search metrics

Find any metric quickly by selecting the relevant entities first, then search or browse the metric namespaces for the metric.

Search results are ordered by relevance. The metric explorer also suggests entities and metrics that are commonly used or that have a lot of data you may want to browse and drill into. For example, the metric explorer displays the root namespaces for metrics (Apdex, Datastore, EndUser, External, etc.) to make it easier for users to traverse and find their metrics.

You can use some basic regex tokens in your search string. For example:

Use ^ to start matching with the string that follows it.

Use *as a wildcard.

Some New Relic functions, like creating metric alerts, require the exact metric name. For information on how to get a metric's exact name, see Get exact metric name.

Share charts

Metric explorer creates a permalink URL that displays the charts and data for the selected time range for the current page. Permalinks can be used to share data and charts with colleagues, New Relic support staff, or anyone who has access to your New Relic account.
